dread and fear by the people; and when
the governing bodies adjourn there is a
sigh Of relief. The people are being gov
erned too much; that's the trouble.

Duane Mayor McC Clure's term Of Of
flee the city Of Pierre granted a franchise
for water-works, and to-day can boast Of
having one Of the best systems in the
northwest. The mains we're laid at a
depth of eight and nine feet clearly be-
yond the danger line, and everything
done in workmanlike manner. The city
has never experienced any trouble what
ever with the works, and it is generally
considered as the best investment ever
made by the city. The city takes num-
Der Of hydrants, paying in the aggregate
about the same figure as Bismarck con-
tracts to pay under its system now
building similar to that of Pierre, but
on larger scale and more expensive.

FROM the last annual report of Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Atkins may
be cleaned some interesting statistics
For instance, in Dakota there were last
year 2,5O3 scholars attending schools
supported by the government. The total
Indian population Of the United States
is 47,76l, of which Dakota has the larg-
est number, 49, ,1O3. Total number of In
dians in Dakota who can read, 1918;
total number of full blood Indian fami-
lies engaged in agriculture in Dakota,
1929; total number of ponies and horses
owned by Dakota Indians, 19,949.

COMMISSIONER OF EMIGRATION Nc
CLuRE is busily engaged in the duties of
his Office, preparing matter for publica-
ton, and distributing maps and informa-
ton of every sort through the eastern
states. The correspondence is increas-
ing and as the season advances there
seems to be increased interest in Dakota
from all sides. It is believed that while
the immigration this year will be large,
that next spring there will be turning
in the tide now going to the southwest
and that Dakota will have an influx sim
liar to the years of 1928.

IT is expected that the plans and spec
ifcations for the extension of the wing of
the Bismarck penitentiary will be ready
to submit to the governor for his ap-
proval at the meeting of the board next
week. The extension will give the peni-
tentiary capacity of 160 prisoners in
stead of seventy-two, as at present, plac-
ing one convict in cell. The manage
ment of the penitentiary and the work of
the directors thus far meets the hearty
approval of the governor

STATISTICAL information at hand shows
that "the population of the United States
is being augmented at the rate of 1000
day by the arrivals of immigrants in
sNew York alone. Each of these immi-
grants, the commissioners of immigration
estimate, bring 1923. That is to say, by
way of New York, the nation will this
year receive an addition of 265,OeO to it's
population, and Sc, $4,000 to it's wealth"

cessor in the Redfeld Office has failed to
do what is customary under such condi-

Mr.. Rising, who by the way is editor of
the Sun at Redfeld, advertises a neat
outfit of fixtures for sale cheap. It con-

THE HUMAN RACE.

THE HUMAN RACE.
In Eden fair, with balmy air,
Where whits-winged cherubs fitted;
Where songsters few above the blue
And gold-winged birdlings twitted,
They took man, common man,
And set him fast snoring; II
And with zest, beneath his vest
The bowie knife went boring,
With giggling glib they stole rib.
And while his blood was surgin,'
The cherubs bright with sweet delight,
Brought forth beauteous virgin.
The sleeping sage awoke with rage,
MY rib!' cried he, in gushes, ss.
Who has't3'' said he; 8 'Tis she, tits she,
The virgin with the bushes. - E~fa,
With strange grimace he wreathed his face,
And for the maid went chasing;
And round and round the Eden ground,
For days they kept racing. >.0.-
And still for fun and love they run,
For loves tireless cruiser;
In budding days and autumn haze
The vitlin,s stiN purssIes her.

Gated He jumped from the forward deck
and arose to the surface just in time to be
struck on the head by one of the Chicagos

him senseless and rendered Officer Taylor's
work of rescsae' easiers When taken from the
water Reeds head was found to be badly cut
in two places and he was nearly asphyxiated.
Restoratives were administered, after which
the half-drownsd man was sent to tina ChaEn-

BOODLEMEN IN A PANIC.
COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, coNsPIRA-
TORS RECEIVE A SHOCK.

Commissioner Klehm, One of the Indicted
"Boodlers," Changes His Plea from Not
Guilty to Guilty-Arrest of Ex-Warden
Frey-The Case of the Indianapolis Elec-
ton Crooks Given to the jury.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The sensation in the
"boodle" trial in Judge Jamisons court Fri,
day was the changing of his plea from mot
guilty" to guilty" by Commissioner George
c. Klehm, one of the men indicted under the
omnibus" count as a conspirator to rob
Cook county. The effect upon the court, the
jury and every one within the room was cleo
tricaL Indeed, the act was so unexpected
that for the moment nobody seemed to fully
understand it; and then, when the full import
of the commissioners plea to the court In O
voice scarcely audible, was realized, .
scene of confusion followed The judge had
just announced the adjournment Of court.
and nearly every one save the jurors had
risen to their feet The jurors, who dis
tinctly heard Judge JamieSon's clear voice
when he asked Klehm if he desired to plead
guilty, either Strengthened up in their seats
or raised to their feet, and With gaping
mouths and eyes staring blank astonishment
drank in the courts remarks. 1t took only
moment and all was over, and then every
body asked everybody what it all meant.
The "boodlers," who had risen to go and
were bandying words with each other, stopped
their ribald remarks and craned their necks
to catch the remarks passing between their
co-conspirator and the Judge A look of in
expreSsible pain came into Adam Ochs' ever
serious face, and Van Pelt, who constantly
wears a grimace, assumed a look of anxiety.
Varnelrs fat, boyish face and "Buck" Nc
Carthy's coarse features paled a little as they
listened to klehm's trembling voice. If an
avalanche had slid from mountain side it
could not have created a greater panic among
the "boodlers" They could do naught but
look at each other

airy, is prisoner in the county Jail He was
